“Hah! Why is it a different man again? We should really let Wen Qimo see your true colors!”
Pei Ge heard a familiar voice before she could even see the person standing outside the lift.
Only when the doors fully opened and the person walked into the lift did she identify who it was.
“Hmph! Promiscuous!”
The lady, who had stepped into the lift haughtily, wore a pair of red heels.
Pei Ge scoffed at the spiteful look on the woman’s face.
What was with this lady?
“Ge Ge, do you know her?” Fu Mingxuan asked, sensing the tension in the air. He took a glance at the lady; she seed to be addressing Pei Ge earlier.
Pei Ge shook her head, saying, ” I don’t know her.”
She really did not know this lady. Even though she had seen her before, and certain things had happened between them, she honestly did not know her.
Little did anyone expect that her reply would frustrate the lady.
“How dare you say that you don’t know ?! You’re really great at pretending, huh! I didn’t expect that, despite your diocre looks, you’d have so tricks up your sleeve. The n around you keep changing!”
Pei Ge was at a loss for words when she heard this pretty lady’s vicious accusations.
She did not expect her to be so mistaken about her. Nonetheless, she did not recall doing anything to hurt her.
“Excuse , miss. I really don’t know you. How can I claim to be acquainted with you if I don’t even know your na?” She smiled at her politely.
Her courteous behavior only highlighted the other’s unreasonableness.
“You!” She was so aggravated by her goody-two-shoes look she did not know what to say.
“Miss, please mind your attitude.” Sizing up the lady, who seed well off despite her lack of manners, the smile on Fu Mingxuan’s face deepened.
“Pei Ge, you’re good. Since you claim not knowing , let’s get to know each other!” The lady collected herself and showed a wan smile as she reached out a hand to her.
“Hello. I’m Ji Lelin, and I loathe you.”
Of course, it was the Ji family’s youngest daughter who liked Wen Qimo but went on a blind date with Ji Ziming.
Hearing the lady’s heartfelt introduction, Pei Ge took on a similar attitude.
The only difference between them was that she did not proffer her hand.
“Hello, Ji Lelin. Since you dislike , I won’t shake your hands, lest I give you a chance to clean your hand with tissue, which you will throw away while looking disgusted.”
The lady’s face blanched, for she really did intend to do just that. She was planning to mock her via that act, but she did not expect the latter to see through her.
As for Pei Ge, she maintained her smile, as if not noticing her expression.
Ding!
The doors parted open again. This ti, it was not because soone was going to enter but because the elevator had arrived on the floor the pair had selected earlier.
“Miss Ji, we’ll get off first.” She smiled at the lady, whose face did not look good, and bid her goodbye.
“Hmph!” Ji Lelin scoffed. “Hey, poser, you’d better be careful! That woman isn’t just any woman. She’s really good at hooking guys like you. Do you know Ji Ziming, the CEO of Ji Group? She—” She said this with disdain as she kept her eyes on him who was trailing after Pei Ge.
Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by him, who had been silent for the most part.
“You don’t have to worry about . I love her regardless of the kind of woman she is,” he said softly and sincerely, giving the woman the side-eye.
With his words drowning out hers, Ji Lelin’s expression turned ghastly.
It was obvious that he had antagonized her.
In truth, not just her, even Pei Ge was shocked by his words.
“Senior, yo-you...” She looked at him with hesitation.
Could she not be overthinking things before, and he truly liked her?
That was not right, though. Had he not said before that the person he liked was not her?
Just as his words were making her confused, she heard him laugh aloud.
“Pfft! Ge Ge, you didn’t take that seriously, did you?” he asked, gazing at her amusedly.
“Huh?” She blinked, full of confusion.
“Ha ha! Did you really take that seriously? I was lying to that lady to get back at her for you!” He noted the confusion on her face.
She sighed in relief when she heard his explanation.
Hu! So senior’s lying to that woman. That’s great!
“Hu! Senior, you scared .” She shook her head and smiled wryly. Not just that lady, even she got tricked by him earlier.
“Is the idea of liking you that scary?” His eyes dimd a little when he saw her looking relieved, but he kept a smile on his face.
“Of course, you’re Ziming’s close friend!” she replied without thinking, nodding her head strongly.
“Heh! It’s because of Ziming, huh...”
If... there’s no Ji Ziming between us, does it an...
